In the 50-second video released Sunday by Next Generation Action Network , two Fort Worth officers restrain a man lying face down in the street.

One officer kneels into the man’s back and repeatedly punches him as the man cries, “Why (expletive) are you punching me? Why?”

Members of the Fire Department called the police about a drunk and disorderly person who they claimed tried to assault them, the New York Daily News reported. Curry appeared drunk and tried to assault them as well, cops said, adding that he ran away after an officer approached him.

Curry’s attorneys — L. Chris Stewart and Jasmine Crockett — argue he had a seizure before the police arrived.

“The video being circulated depicts officers struggling with the male and striking him as they attempt to handcuff him,” Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald said in a statement. “What the video does not depict is that it took 3 officers and 1 supervisor to effectively place the resisting subject into handcuffs.”

The network also posted a media advisory on its Facebook page, stating:

On March 31, 2018, The Next Generation Action Network was notified and received audio/visual footage involving the use of excessive force, against 35-year-old Forrest Curry, by the Fort Worth Police Department. On April 1st, 2018, additional footage was received, highlighting the incident from a closer vantage point and angle that clearly depicts the assault. The footage showcased officers, as they held Curry faced down on the pavement – hands positioned behind his back, assaulting him through continual/repetitious punches and knees to the face and abdomen.

Though our leadership team has spoken with Chief Fitzgerald, of the FWPD, demanding transparency and more information about the situation, and despite the Chief Assuring Internal Affairs is investigating the matter, the FWPD has been consecutively involved in cases surrounding the excessive use of force over the past 5 years.

Quote of the Day

"Trump’s incredible capacity to turn Democrats into defenders of all things evil has paid dividends: Democrats are slipping on the generic congressional ballot as they embrace everyone from the mullahs to the intersectional radicals of the Women’s March leadership. And the more you oppose Trump, the more support you gain on the left — which means that moderate Democrats who would be most likely to win in November are losing primaries to progressive extremists."
